  4. Stowage factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowage_factor

    In shipping, the stowage factor indicates how many cubic metres of space one tonne (or cubic feet of space one long ton) of a particular type of cargo occupies in a hold of a cargo ship. [1] It is calculated as the ratio of the stowage space required under normal conditions, including the stowage losses caused by the means of transportation and ...

  5. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    When applying prefixes to units of volume, which are expressed in units of length cubed, the cube operators are applied to the unit of length including the prefix. An example of converting cubic centimetre to cubic metre is: 2.3 cm 3 = 2.3 (cm) 3 = 2.3 (0.01 m) 3 = 0.0000023 m 3 (five zeros). [18]: 143

    The volume of such a mixture is slightly less than the sum of the volumes of the components. Thus, by the above definition, the term "40% alcohol by volume" refers to a mixture of 40 volume units of ethanol with enough water to make a final volume of 100 units, rather than a mixture of 40 units of ethanol with 60 units of water.

    According to the National Energy Board, it requires about 1,200 cubic feet (34 m 3) of natural gas to produce one barrel of bitumen from in situ projects and about 700 cubic feet (20 m 3) for integrated projects. [93] Since a barrel of oil equivalent is about 6,000 cubic feet (170 m 3) of gas, this represents a large gain in energy. That being ...

    The discovery at Oil Springs touched off an oil boom which brought hundreds of speculators and workers to the area. Canada's first gusher (flowing well) erupted on January 16, 1862, when local oil-man John Shaw struck oil at 158 feet (48 m). [18] For a week the oil gushed unchecked at levels reported as high as 3,000 barrels per day.
